[PATCH v3] attr: fix instructions on how to check attrs

Message-ID
<pull.1441.v3.git.git.1674768107941.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1441.v2.git.git.1674447742078.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: John Cai <johncai86@gmail.com>

The instructions in attr.h describing what functions to call to check attributes is missing the index as the first argument to git_check_attr(), as well as tree_oid as the second argument.

When 7a400a2c (attr: remove an implicit dependency on the_index, 2018-08-13) started passing an index_state instance to git_check_attr(), it forgot to update the API documentation in Documentation/technical/api-gitattributes.txt. Later, 3a1b3415 (attr: move doc to attr.h, 2019-11-17) moved the API documentation to attr.h as a comment, but still left out the index_state as an argument.

In 47cfc9b (attr: add flag `--source` to work with tree-ish 2023-01-14) added tree_oid as an optional parameter but was not added to the docs in attr.h

Fix this to make the documentation in the comment consistent with the actual function signature.
